The Top 40

The West forgets that its wealth and power is a byproduct of a good people - and not a clever one (which it is becoming, now). They forget that Judeo Christianity started in the thriving Middle-Eastern Civilizations of Antiquity and when it was driven from those lands, the Middle East has returned to mud huts and sand.

Regardless of the oppression by the Chinese Oligarchs, Christianity is taking hold over there - as it is in some parts of Africa.

Perhaps the baton of the future will be passed to them as it did to us nearly 1400 years ago (Islam) as our elite have abandoned the logos of God for the cheap and easy snakeoil of cleverness and manipulation.

Pray that such a man as Cardinal Sarah is the next Bishop of Rome.

Agreed.

Pope Francis practices the Heretical (Undeclared - yet) Liberation Theology which is the infection of Socialism in the Catholic Church.

At its root, Socialism is stealing.

"socialism is stealing" - Yes indeed, but today they call themselves "Progressives".

"If history could teach us anything, it would be that private property is inextricably linked with civilization."

Ludwig von Mises

Meh. Cut the man (Pope Francis) some slack. He grew up under Peronism, and it's left its mark on him.

Once he gets out in the world more, I think he'll lose a bit of it. Not all of it (old dog, new tricks, you know the drill), but some of it.

Hale Adams
(convert to Catholicism, as of Easter 2011)
Pikesville, People's still-mostly-Democratic Republic of Maryland

Enough slack has been given, Hale.

I've read enough about him that he is a Socialist. I never thought the church could be political (Socialism is counter to Christian Doctrine, btw...)

Here's a Secular root to this abominable theology

"Pikesville, People's still-mostly-Democratic Republic of Maryland"

Self proclaimed Socialist, Bernie Sanders is going for the Democrat Party nomination - and is beating Hillary at the moment.

I'll say it agian: Self-Proclaimed Socialist.

Gee, how did our country drift so left, Hale? Is it the Peoples Republic of Cuba's love for the vintage 1950's American Cars or is it the Democratic Socialist Republic of Venezuela's fetish for Toilet paper that has drawn these people to Bernie?

So... if you want more o' that "Peoples Republic" stuff, you have your chance to be a "Berner".

Whats sad is that Joe McCarthy was right and was THE first victim of 'Borking' by our own traitorous Media.

Speaking of McCarthy, here's one from J Edgar. Even he got it.

“The individual is handicapped by coming face-to-face with a conspiracy so monstrous he cannot believe it exists.
"The American mind simply has not come to a realization of the evil which has been introduced into our midst.
"It rejects even the assumption that human creatures could espouse a philosophy which must ultimately destroy all that is good and decent."
- J. Edgar Hoover The Elks Magazine (August 1956)
I reckon he didn't like commies.

"I reckon he didn't like commies. "

Probably because he was well informed about them.

Here's Yuri Bezmenov (in the 80's) validating McCarthys prophetic words.

I'd give you examples of recent history, but all you gotta do is look around Chas and see for yourself as the one sided Ideological Warfare of the Communists is quite evident.

Actually, Communism/Socialism is merely the snake-oil for Totalitarians to reimpose their chains upon a free people (But this time without the licensing of the Roman Catholic Christian Church (Teh State is the religion, the dear leader is its God).

Its not really a "Conspiracy", but more a formulaic methodology/racket that would make Machievelli proud.
